Im still unsure where I want to mount the tweeters, I'm aiming for the side mirror garnish but I have to do some cutting, last resort will be to mount it to the door panel.

Now I didnt want the headache of trying to fish the wires through the door jam so I just splices in the harness.........no not the factory harness. Here are the wires all neat and bundled up:

Time for the amp rack. Due to the shape of the cutout in my back seat I was crammped for space so I had to stack another piece of mdf for the smaller amp to sit on and also to make wiring easier. The smaller sits 3/4" higher than the other amp:
